摘要： A method for providing multi-region instrument support in an audio player is described. A set of user defined instruments and a set of MIDI data is received. At least one multi-region instrument in the set of user defined instruments is identified. Each region in the multi-region instruments is mapped to a single region instrument with the same parameters as the region. A new instrument number is assigned to each single region instrument. The MIDI data is modified based on the mapping and assigning.

摘要： A method of converting performance information is carried out by the steps of receiving identification information that identifies an target tone generator different from an available tone generator, reading out first performance information that indicates a music performance in the form of a sequence of tones, and that includes timbre information specifying a timbre of the tones, and changing the timbre information included in the read first performance information based on the received identification information so as to generate second performance information including the changed timbre information adapted to the target tone generator. By such a manner, the available tone generator can process the second performance information to generate the sequence of tones having a timbre as if generated by the target tone generator.

摘要： Tone color selecting space is provided, where tone color data are allocated to addressable locations in association with tone color selection information in accordance with a predetermined tone color standard. Into the tone color selecting space can be loaded not only tone color data compliant with the predetermined tone color standard, but also other tone color data, such as those of a standard different from the predetermined tone color standard, loadable externally from an external source. In the tone color selecting space, a dedicated area is set for allocating the externally loaded tone color data. Thus, the externally loaded tone color data can be allocated to the dedicated area and selected in response to tone color selection information designating the dedicated area. If the externally loaded tone color data include specific original tone color selection information, the original tone color selection information may be replaced with the tone color selection information designating the dedicated area such that the tone color data can be selected in response to the original tone color selection information. The externally loaded tone color data may be given priority over the tone color data compliant with the predetermined tone color standard so that the externally loaded tone color data can be allocated to an addressable location in the tone color selecting space with storage location allocation corresponding to the original tone color selection information.

摘要： To compress a MIDI format file it is converted to a format 0 file. The format 0 file is then scanned to reduce the number of possible instruments to 16. MIDI commands having no sound output are then eliminated and NoteOn and NoteOff commands are replaced by a PlayNote command. This eliminates instances of &Dgr;time equal to 0. Based on the characteristics of an appliance that has to play the compressed file, the notes are recentered in a bandwidth compatible with the appliance, after which the file is scanned to seek instances of polyphony. If an instance of polyphony exceeds the capacities of the appliance it is reduced in accordance with an instrument priority list and a note pitch.

摘要翻译： 要压缩MIDI格式文件，它将转换为格式0文件。 然后扫描格式0文件以将可能的乐器数量减少到16.然后消除没有声音输出的MIDI命令，并且使用PlayNote命令替换NoteOn和NoteOff命令。 这样可以消除DELTAtime等于0的实例。根据必须播放压缩文件的设备的特性，笔记在与设备兼容的带宽中被重新找到，之后文件被扫描以寻找复音的实例。 如果复音的实例超过了设备的容量，则它将根据仪器优先级列表和音符音调减少。
